Things are about to get busy. After 3 days of settling in, adjusting back to life in Ecuador, and catching up with Ruby & Fletcher, it is time for my first team to arrive! Tonight we will head to the airport to meet the team of seven from FBC Camden, SC. Mr. Fletcher and I will be joining them for their week of ministry in Machachi, which is about 1 ½ hrs south of Quito.
SBC Camden adopted Machachi in January; this will be their 2nd ministry trip. A leader in Machachi has agreed to allow this team to show movies in the theater on Tuesday & Thursday night this week. The theater holds 500 people! This is God’s workings! Can’t wait to see what will happen!
We will be working with children in the mornings each day. Our translators will be two sisters, Natalia and Cinthia. I met Natalia on my very first trip to Ecuador in 2005. It’s going to be a surprise for her that I am here! I can’t wait! I will be rooming with one of the team members who is also in her 20s. Her name is Brook.
Thank you all for your prayers! I’m praying for you as well!
Please pray for-
-Michaela, Meredith, & Jeremy – 3 high school seniors on this SC team… This trip is at a very transitional time in their life. Pray that they will be open to the Holy Spirit’s work in their hearts.
-Relationships to be built with the people in Machachi and the people we encounter will see Christ in us and begin to understand His Gospel.
-That I will be intentional in pouring into the girls this week. That I will point them to Christ by the way I live & through my words.
- My verse for this morning- “Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, PROCLAIM THAT HIS NAME IS EXALTED.” Isaiah 12:4 Pray for His name to be exalted.
